From Academic Research to Published Success: Why Your Thesis Deserves an ISBN?

 In this blog we will discuss the case for giving your thesis an ISBN, and explain why you should put the extra effort into getting it published.


The thesis writing process is a process that requires perseverance, discipline and intellectual curiosity. Whatever the work is—Master's thesis or Doctoral thesis—it is the result of a year or more of research, critical analysis, and original thinking. However, upon graduation many of these useful research projects are left in the library of universities and thus are only available to a small number of users. When you publish your thesis as a book, that is different; you're putting your work in a professional light and you're putting your thesis on a world stage.


Getting an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is one of the most crucial steps to this change. An ISBN is the key component of a book that makes it identifiable as a publication, while many first time authors pay attention to editing or cover design. It allows booksellers, bookstores, online retailers, and academic databases to find, catalog and distribute your work in an easy and efficient manner.


An ISBN is like a long-term book ID, identifying a particular version of your book. Like a research article that is easily searchable and citable by its published information, a book can be easily found and referenced by its ISBN. This straightforward but impactful identifier contributes greatly to making your publication visible among the academic world around the world.


Researchers should make sure that their thesis is ready for publication before submitting for an ISBN. Thesis for examiners may contain detailed technical explanations and lots of academic terminology. These are necessary in assessment, but should be made more interesting and readable for the reader in a book. Changes in chapter organization or language to make it more accessible and interesting to a broad range of readers; updates to references; and emphasis on practical applications.


Now, a way to publish needs to be decided. Self-publishing gives the author full control over the creative process and the finances, from cover design to final print run. It also demands that editing, formatting, ISBN registration, printing and distribution be done on its own. As such, many researchers opt to choose their academic publishing partner based on their comprehensive publishing support, which makes the academic publishing process more efficient and less time consuming.


Typically, you need to provide publication information, such as an ISBN for a book, a book's title, its author(s), its format, your publisher details, its language, and its subject classification. The ISBN is used in the copyright page, back cover and digital metadata of the publication, which helps ensure that the book is indexed correctly, no matter where it is distributed.


The benefits of using an ISBN are far-reaching. The ISBN facilitates easier access to books via academic databases, online bookstores and library catalogues. This could lead to higher visibility, higher citation rates and higher academic recognition. A published book is a sign of knowledge and dedication to the act of writing for researchers seeking jobs, research grants, promotion and international collaboration.


In addition, authors should keep in mind that each print run of a book needs an ISBN. Paperback, hardcover and eBook versions are viewed as separate publications. Having accurate metadata and finalizing the title prior to registration prevents needless administrative problems down the road.


Academic publishing remains in constant flux and universities are pushing researchers to publish their work in places other than their repository. By assigning a book with an ISBN, your research can continue to inform discourse, shape future research and make a difference to society.


More than just a spotlight is warranted for several years of research. An ISBN makes your thesis a published book, and puts it into the worldwide flow of knowledge for the benefit of readers now and in the future.
